Re: O
 
In a recent google search......

Big O notation or Big Oh notation, and also Landau notation or asymptotic notation, is a mathematical notation used to describe the asymptotic behavior of functions. Its purpose is to characterize a function's behavior for very large (or very small) inputs in a simple but rigorous way that enables comparison to other functions.

The symbol O is used to describe an asymptotic upper bound for the magnitude of a function in terms of another, usually simpler, function. There are also other symbols o, Ω, ω, and Θ for various other upper, lower, and tight bounds. Informally, the O notation is commonly employed to describe an asymptotic tight bound, but tight bounds are more formally and precisely denoted by the Θ (capital theta) symbol as described below.
and it goes on and on...those wanting the link.....
